The Song army defending the city suffered numerous casualties, and many strong men from Jiankang people began to recruit, which was officially drawn into the reserve army. At the top of the city, veterans were carried down from time to time, and recruits were pushed up. Soldiers came up one by one.

Once you reach the top of the city, you can only leave the city if you are killed or seriously injured.

The Song army's combat effectiveness is inferior to that of the Jin army, so their biggest crisis is whether they can let the Jin army attack the city. If they can't let the Jin army fall during the attack, then it means that the Jin army can attack the city, and everything will be a big deal.

No good. After going to the city, the Jin soldiers will inflict huge casualties on the Song army, which is mostly new soldiers. Often one Jin soldier can kill three to five Song soldiers. In other words, one Jin soldier can kill three to five Song soldiers.

Jin soldiers can kill three to five Song soldiers before being killed!

Zhang Jun took his bodyguard with him, holding a sword and gritting his teeth to fight against the advancing Jin army. Li Yungui over there also led the troops to resist the Jin army with blood and sweat.

The fierce fighting continued, and the Jin army was determined to capture Jiankang quickly. After the color gradually turned dark, the Jin army still did not stop attacking. A large number of Jin troops continued to attack the city after taking shifts.

fighting.

Generally speaking, a siege is a battle with heavy casualties. In such a siege, thousands of people may die in one day. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 83

However, up to now, the Jin army has fought hard to kill as many as 10,000 Song soldiers. At this time, the Jin army is still attacking fiercely, but has no intention of retreating. In contrast, there are about 4,000 Jin soldiers fighting.

Thousands of people were killed and injured. However, due to the difference in quality of the soldiers on both sides, their casualties were greater. The Song army defending the city was more numerous than the Jin army attacking the city!

If this continues, Jiankang City will be breached before he is ready to retreat! Thinking of this, Zhang Jun felt chills in his heart. If tens of thousands of soldiers were buried here, what else would he use to fight the Jin army in the future?

At this moment, a general stepped forward and said: "Master Commander, the strong men of the common people voluntarily request to go to the city to help in the battle!" Zhang Jun was overjoyed and said without thinking: "That's right!"

After Zhang Jun said this, a large number of young and middle-aged people boarded the city. Zhang Jun immediately saw these people of the Song Dynasty who risked their lives for their homeland.

In fact, the people in Jiankang City were also very nervous. Many people carefully observed the battle situation. They found that the Jin army's attacks on Jiankang were endless. Counting the dead soldiers, the Song army was like this now

Soldiers with poor fighting qualities and unable to fight, faced with a strong economy, 80% of the time the city will be destroyed. Therefore, for the sake of their homes and families, many people became volunteers and immediately joined the team to defend the city.

middle.

The Song Dynasty never lacked heroic people. What it really lacked was a heroic royal family and an emperor who treated the people and generals well.

Although there was a group of young and strong common people to help out, it was impossible to have much combat effectiveness relying on a group of common people who had not received training. Soon the golden soldiers relied on goose chariots and sky sedans to rush up to kill countless soldiers. Faced with a group of people with strong combat effectiveness

The Jin soldiers and the common people who were helping out saw the horrific scene of flesh and blood flying everywhere and internal organs flowing everywhere. Many people ran back in fear.

The common people who were supporting the battle began to flee, and the morale of the Song army finally could not withstand it. After breaking through several defenses in the face of the surging Jin army, the Song army collapsed.

At this time, Zhang Jun had no one in his hands, and all his soldiers had been killed by the Jin soldiers. Zhang Jun, who was covered in blood, looked blankly at the retreating Song army around him, and picked up the weapon that was already covered with cuts and blood.

"If you want to use your sword, you have to wipe it on your neck..."

Suddenly, a long sword opened Zhang Jun's sword. Zhang Jun looked and saw that the person who stopped him from committing suicide was Li Yungui, who was covered in blood. There were not many people around Li Yungui. He hugged Zhang Jun and said, "Lord Controller.

, The green hills left behind are not afraid of running out of firewood. For the sake of the country of the Song Dynasty, you must not commit suicide! Come on, take the commander back quickly." After that, regardless of whether Zhang Jun agreed or not, several soldiers pulled Zhang

Jun then ran away towards the south gate.

Facing the Song army retreating one after another, the Jin army shouted proudly: "Wow...Song Zhu is defeated...Song Zhu is defeated...Kill! Grab money! Grab food! Grab women!"

At this time, Li Yungui and Zhang Jun, with their remnant army of less than a thousand men, quickly retreated southward. There were fleeing people and defeated soldiers everywhere. Zhang Jun looked at Jiankang City behind with tears in his eyes.

"Damn Jin Army! Just wait! Your Grandpa Zhang will fight back sooner or later!" Zhang Jun said bitterly, and began to retreat towards Zhenjiang with less than a thousand people.

When Han Shizhong received the imperial edict from Zhao Gou to see him, he was eating in the military camp. When he heard that Zhao Gou wanted to see him, he immediately spat out the food in his mouth and followed his chamberlain to see Zhao Gou. Since he was the closest to Zhao Gou at present, he was unique.

He was a military commander of the highest rank and had made great achievements in the affairs of King Qin, so Zhao Gou was relatively loose on guard against him. Under the leadership of his chamberlain, Han Shizhong easily entered the newly selected palace of Zhao Gou.

In the past, Han Shizhong never came to Zhao Gou's inner palace to see him. The reason was so simple that it would make any civil servant and general in the officialdom laugh. That is, he was very uncomfortable with Zhao Gou's blind luxury. The country almost forgot, and the whole family was captured.

When you go north, you still have time to think about music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Do you still have time to appreciate antiques, calligraphy and painting?

Han Shizhong, who was born as a martial artist, also had extraordinary literary talent, otherwise he would not have written many masterpieces of creation. In fact, the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, so many generals were also literati.

Most of this new temporary palace is a small lake, and the place where Zhao Gou is located is a building in the woods on the peninsula of the lake. Although the building is not high or big, it is very delicately built.

A unique new palace was carefully selected for Zhao Gou by a southern family. The bright summer sun, green trees and clear water set off the glazed and blue tiled roof, creating a quiet and peaceful place. This scene makes people fall into a dream.

When Han Shizhong saw this exquisite layout and carefully arranged palace, he couldn't help but secretly admired that Emperor Zhao Gou really knew how to enjoy it. Although he was very resistant to Zhao Gou's blindly not resisting and escaping, it was undeniable.

What's more, Zhao Gou's calligraphy, literary talent and a certain artistic conception of rest and enjoyment are also extraordinary.

When walking into the forest path, a chamberlain came up and bowed respectfully: "General Han, your Majesty is waiting for you, please come with me." Han Shizhong nodded and followed the chamberlain to the carefully decorated building where Zhao Zhen lived.

Although Han Shizhong had already expected Zhao Gou's extravagance, he was still deeply shocked when he walked into Zhao Gou's temporary palace. The spacious and luxurious room had a unique style and was extravagant.

The most eye-catching thing is that there are several huge bronze mirrors standing around, and rows of horizontal cabinets with antique calligraphy and paintings standing around, all of which are reflected in the mirrors.

Suddenly, Han Shizhong felt lost and was struggling. Zhao Gou ran away without taking anything, only these antiques, calligraphy and paintings... Could it be that the country of the Song Dynasty and Zhao Gou's family were still in Zhao Gou's heart?

Isn't it better than these antique calligraphy and paintings? Moreover, Zhao Gou also squeezed out all the Zhao family clan members, and obviously had an arrogant possessive desire for the emperor's position. Since you want to be the emperor, why can't you think more about your country? Put all your thoughts on it.

How useful are these antique calligraphy and paintings to being an emperor?

It is undeniable that Zhao Gou had brilliant literary talent and excellent calligraphy and painting. Otherwise, with his talented mother, how could he have been appreciated by Huizong? Of course, Huizong was even less reliable than him.

The Zhao family is a bunch of literati, and their handwriting is immortal. But if the people and the country keep up with the emperor, who is such an excellent calligrapher, they will be unlucky for eight lifetimes...

At this time, Zhao Gou was writing. When he saw Han Shizhong coming, he was still indifferent. Unfortunately, what Han Shizhong couldn't tolerate the most was Zhao Gou's behavior of turning a deaf ear to the urgent military situation. When he came, he had just

I learned about the fall of Jiankang from the mouth of the chamberlain. Of course, this was what Zhao Gou signaled to the chamberlain to tell Han Shizhong. Otherwise, although Zhao Gou was unbearable, his chamberlain would not be such a loudmouth.

So Han Shizhong coughed. Just after coughing, he regretted it greatly. Didn't this show his dissatisfaction? But it was helpless and could not be delayed any longer. The Jin army conquered Jiankang. How to arrange the army's defense and mobilize the army in the next step?

We discussed with the emperor that the military situation is urgent and waits for no one! He raised his hands and said loudly: "The humble minister Han Shizhong comes to see my emperor. Long live my emperor!"

Zhao Gou seemed oblivious. After finishing writing, he coldly threw the pen on the table. His eyes were full of helplessness and he said: "General Han, come in." Han Shizhong strode in, looking straight.

, bowed deeply, "I have something important to report to my emperor."

"Speaking" Zhao Gou was obviously in a bad mood today. Jiankang fell so quickly that he was caught off guard. He was confused. Since Zongze's death, he didn't have anyone who could withstand the Jin army. If he had

If there is a general who can withstand the Jin army's march south, he will definitely be able to sue for peace. Of course, after the peace sues successfully, the general will either be killed by him or deprived of military power. Zhao Gou's subordinates cannot be single-handedly powerful and invincible and can defeat him.

The serving generals of the Jin army threatened his throne.

In fact, Zhao Gou's approach can be regarded as the tradition of the Zhao family. But all the military generals are actually very aware of the Zhao family's practice of killing donkeys. Therefore, after the Jin army went south, many generals of the Song army did not fight to the death.

Jin, but surrendered to the Jin country that valued military generals.

"Jiankang fell into the hands of the Jin Army. We have too few troops. Please call upon your Majesty to summon troops from all over the country and concentrate our forces to fight the Jin Army. I will fight to the death to protect the country and the country, and fight against the Jin Army..."

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was furious, grabbed the brush and smashed it on Han Shizhong's head. He shouted: "The Jin army has already reached us, do you still have time to mobilize your troops? Besides, you won't

Do you know about Liu Miao's disaster? Now all of them are "treacherous" people. They are thinking about how to usurp my throne! Do you want to fight with the Jin soldiers? How to fight? Is it your sword or your soldiers?

Jin Bingqiang! Someone reported just now that the Jin Army camp is also being cleaned up and they are going to attack in the next few days. A group of royal family members are plotting together every day to plot my throne! They are all a bunch of bastards! Facing the powerful and

The extremely fast Jin Army, what can we do with our troops! What can we do?!"

Generally speaking, even if Zhao Gou got angry, he had never acted so rudely. Even Han Shizhong couldn't help but retreat when he got angry, and his heart felt painful! In his military life, he had calculated Zhao Gou's thoughts several times. In

In Han Shizhong's heart, if the Jin Army is there, he can just fight, but the rest is beyond his control. Besides, fighting against the Jin Army is to protect Zhao Gou's country! Why are you so afraid of the Jin Army? So afraid

Someone else seizes your throne? Could it be that the Jin Army has taken away all the kingdoms, and can your throne be kept?

At this moment, a chamberlain came in: "Report to Your Majesty..." Zhao Gou said sternly: "Speak!" The chamberlain said: "The information sent by the Butterfly Department..."

Zhao Gou stretched out his hand, and the chamberlain quickly stepped forward and handed over the information with both hands. After Zhao Gou took it and opened the cover, he glanced at it and threw it on Han Shizhong!

"Take a good look, the Jin Army is about to launch an attack. I don't want to talk about how to fight anymore. You are responsible for resisting the Jin Army and delaying the Jin Army's move south. I am ready to continue going south and resist the Jin Army to the end! No.

If you have other matters, please step aside!" As he spoke, he rang the bell with his hand, and an old chamberlain came forward and said: "General Han Shizhong...please..."

Han Shizhong was heartbroken when he saw the intelligence that the Jin army continued to move south. Zhao Gou did not organize an effective resistance and only knew how to flee south blindly. God's will was such that he could no longer pursue him.

At this time, outside Zhao Zhen's Shitiao Mountain Walled City, in order to celebrate the victory, Zhao Zhen held another coalition bonfire celebration here. Moreover, Zhao Zhen also put a lot of salt in the barbecued meat so that the soldiers could eat well.

Taste. In Chinese history, salt and iron are the greatest interests and have always been controlled by the state. People cannot live without salt and iron. This is the biggest reason.

A person can eat anything, but it is impossible to live without salt. If there is no salt, there will be no strength. It is said that an emperor asked a minister what was the most delicious in the world, and the minister said salt. But the emperor did not believe it, so he

Not eating salt, as a result, all the cooks who cooked for the emperor were beheaded. No matter how good the cook was, he couldn't make good meals without salt.

Soon, two whole sheep with their skins removed were brought out. At this time, a waitress took out enough salt, brushed it layer by layer on the mutton, and watched the salt melt on the fire.

Penetrate into the mutton.

Among food, barbecue is definitely a technical activity. It should be burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, but the outside should not be burned into charcoal. This means that the outside should be burnt, but not burned into charcoal. But the inside should be tender, and the meat should be tender in the middle.

The oil needs to be melted and the fat burned out, so that it will be fragrant. At the same time, the skin should be crispy to the extent that it has just been burnt. This is a real skill, and it cannot be done by just burning it.

Burnt out.

A big man is grilling a whole sheep. This is a laborious job. You have to keep turning the sheep, otherwise it will burn into charcoal. Unlike in modern times, there are ovens and even electric stoves. But Zhao Zhen actually

I like to barbecue like this, so that I can grasp the smoke and let the smoke with the smell of wood burn into the meat, which will form a unique aroma. Special Forces Time Travel: The Prince of the Song Dynasty 83

The wood has its own fragrance, and the smoke also has the taste. This kind of barbecue is almost impossible to experience in modern times. In the charcoal barbecue of modern street stalls, the barbecued food is marinated with chemicals, and its inherent hygiene and edible

"Sex" is simply unthinkable.

Purely natural barbecue is the way to go. One of the techniques of barbecue is to let the flavors of wood and smoke enter the meat together.

The big man doing the barbecue would lift the whole sheep from time to time, and sometimes roll the whole sheep down, smoke it for a while, then roll it up, apply salt on it, and let the salt melt into the meat.

While the big man next to Zhao Zhen was grilling the whole sheep, Li Yanxian, Shao Xing, Shao Long, and Shao Yun came to Zhao Zhen with a group of Song army generals.

Li Yanxian and others came, but they still had to wait. Because if you want to roast a whole lamb perfectly, it takes time. If it is bigger like a camel, it is normal to roast it for a day. If you don’t put in the effort, you won’t be able to get the real flavor.
